Darren Lehmann, the Australia coach said, “he’s been a great player for Australia for many years. He obviously had a lot of highs and the last couple of years as coach, he’s been a joy to work with. The results we’ve had (including) the Ashes at home and the World Cup at home. Winning those were outstanding achievements. POLL: Kumar Sangakkara, Michael Clarke or Chris Rogers — Whom will you miss the most?

Those fortunate enough to witness Clarke’s debut Test innings lay emphasis on using one word: he soared. It was nothing short of the joyous yet calculated flight of a bird: it could well have been a page from Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He later went on to score a hundred on his first Test at home as well. Triple-centurions are rare to come by; not only did Clarke add three double-hundreds to his unbeaten 329 in his magic year of 2012, but also he scored 1,595 runs at 106.33. Michael Clarke’s teammates pay him rich tribute
